Need to get another car
Was going to use the M5 as an everyday car but there is 4 seen flaws:
1--Its fucking insane and i can see a ban if used everyday
2--MPG (averging 13mpg)
3--Its getting a DMS tune to 550bhp
4--A tubi exhaust so people will hear me from miles away
Now dont get me wrong, fuel consumption is not a real concern but its just not possible to drive sensibly
So what car for circa 10k - 15k thats fast, fun, reliable, and fairly economical like averging atleast 18mpg would be good
911?
M3?
Boxster?
Evo?
Sorry its another look at me post but some offer valuable advice

Do you need another car ive not had my own wheels since November 2008 & i dont really need any now. Their are other things in life, if cars are the Top thing you exist for then get alife for heaven sake.

You are saying you wont drive it daily cause it makes you want to drive fast, then you are saying you want a fast car to use instead?
Why not just buy an economical diesel or small petrol car if you want something its easy to behave in that doesnt cost much to run.

Why does the guy need a life if cars are his life? what a load of bullshit, i sense jelousy.
ima racing im with you on this i change cars every few months, but nothing of the calibre of your motors.
Only thing is why would you want a new car to keep you civilised when your options are insane cars?

i think you need a project car
not something flash, something you have to take apart and fix etc
i am being serious when i say this......an old landrover
my dad ported and polished the head and rehoned the block, rebuilt the engine/gearbox himself all in a garage that wouldnt even fit it in all, with basic tools
give it some thought about what you actually you want, if you are into cars and get bored easily think about taking a project on

Chip, no other car has made me drive it like a cossie, the AMG is monstrous but civilised...the M5 is just something else
So for my sanity and for the fact the escos/3dr/f-car/xjr/NSR are all sold!!! A nice liitle sane runner BUT it has to be something special i really cannot see anything for upto 15k in the caliber of the M5 to make me insane...or maybe its the drugs? ROFL...side effects do say risk taking/invicibility No joke!!!!!

Or as a wildcard suggestion, what about a 635csi?
Now they definitely DO suit an auto box, will definitely stand out in the crowd, have enough power to make them really nice to drive, but in a wafty, non-hooligan type way.
Go a bit retro and uber-stylish
